“carafe color (white) seems to be a different white (bright white) than my ratio 8 (off white). Also it arrived with the seal misaligned (under the chrome collar) and required me to fix before using. Not a huge deal but why? I'm more dissatisfied with the color mismatch if anything. Otherwise, the carafe works as expected.”
“Insulates coffee well allowing coffee to retain heat enough for a second and third cup of coffee in the later morning. The design is elegant and modern. Quite beautiful!”
“I bought this after I had my 8 for a while. I prefer Chemex filters and this setup is preferable to the glass carafe. The wet filter has a tendency to fall into the pouring spout hindering extraction. Chemex makes a clip for their carafes, but they don’t fit the 8 carafe. A bent drinking straw will fix it, but you still have to put the brew into a thermal carafe. Some caution is needed when handling the ceramic dripper with the carafe, but it works very well and keeps coffee hot for several hours if preheated. The dripper is dishwasher safe. I’m glad I made the switch.”
